I have had a LOT of tires on my 87 Escort (which is souped up to something
entirely other).  I have, for the past three years, only put Dunlop D60 A2s
on it.  The new series (about 15 months ago) gives better wet performance
than before, but is otherwise similar.  Still the same name.

It makes a huge difference on that car.  I don't know what effect it would
have on an Audi - mine's still in the mail.
